Longline fishing is a commercial fishing technique considered to be more ecologically sustainable than many other methods. This strategy utilizes a long fishing line called the main line, equipped with baited hooks called “snoods.” Numerous hooks can hang from a single line to make the process more efficient and effective. Longline fishing methods are most commonly used to capture fish such as swordfish, tuna, halibut and many other species.

Longlines can be set to hang near the surface (pelagic longline), to capture fish that live along the sea floor (demersal longline) and to capture ground fish, such as halibut.

Doing what’s best for tuna and our customers.

Ranching is one of the most eco-friendly processes used to capture bluefin tuna and various juvenile species. Primarily, carnivorous top predators are captured through sustainable ranching techniques and harvested to maturity for high-quality consumption.

Oftentimes, highly profitable species such as southern bluefin tuna are caught in massive quantities and fattened for marketability. However, at Pescatlantic Group, we pride ourselves on generations of innovation and carefully harvesting southern bluefin tuna in a responsible manner.

Through our sustainability practices in ranching, we provide organic solutions to fishing and feeding southern bluefin tuna to prepare for worldwide exportation at the highest grade and to make globally successful conditions possible.
